BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a shower stall, and more particularly,a shower stall that is door-less and open yet prevents shower water fromexiting therefrom during use.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Numerous innovations for shower enclosure related devices have beenprovided in the prior art that will be described. Even though theseinnovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes towhich they address, however, they differ from the present invention.

A FIRST EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 3,418,665, Issued on Dec. 31, 1968, toLong teaches a shower space extending installation including aspace-extending generally U-shaped curtain rod including an elongatedportion and legs extending substantially at right angles thereto,attachment apparatus carried by each of the legs in proximity to theelongated portion, and friction bumpers mounted at the end of each leg.The space-extending generally U-shaped curtain rod is connectable to aconventional curtain mounting rod by the attachment apparatus so thatthe ends of the legs abut against the opposite shower stall wall, andthe elongated portion projects laterally outwardly of the conventionalcurtain rod and shower space.

A SECOND EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 6,061,846, Issued on May 16, 2000, toPeterson teaches a bathtub walk-through insert to be positioned andbonded into a cut-out opening in a sidewall of a bathtub. The insert isgenerally U-shaped, with a web that rests on a bottom of the cut-outopening and legs that fit against the opposite ends of the cut-outopening.

A THIRD EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 6,178,571, Issued on Jan. 30, 2001, toMcAllister teaches a barrier-free shower system having a combinedconfiguration of a drain sump, a drain, and a continuously weightedshower curtain. A series of channels is formed into a threshold of abarrier-free shower enclosure. The series of channels trap water withinthe shower enclosure and channel the water toward the drain sump. Wateris directed to the channels from the base of the shower enclosure andfrom the continuously weighted shower curtain that hangs directly overthe threshold. There is no lip or barrier in the base of the shower atthe threshold to keep the continuously weighted shower curtain frombillowing out as heat escapes the shower enclosure, so a continuousweight is provided near a lower edge of the continuously weighted showercurtain to keep it positioned over the channels in the threshold.

A FOURTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 8,069,507, Issued on Dec. 6, 2011, toDidehvar, et al. teaches a shower curtain support system including afirst rod having a first arcuate portion and a first end portion, and asecond rod having a second arcuate portion and a second end portion. Thesecond arcuate portion is telescopically mounted within the firstarcuate portion. A first end support is removably and pivotably mountedto the first end portion, and a second end support is removably andpivotably mounted to the second end portion.

A FIFTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 8,341,775, Issued on Jan. 1, 2013, toDidehvar teaches an adjustable curved double curtain rod shower assemblyfor hanging and supporting the weight of two shower curtains, attachedto the walls of a shower area, and forms a shower enclosure area. Theadjustable curved double curtain rod shower assembly includes twoadjustable curved curtain rods in a horizontal plane an inner rod and anouter rod. Each rod includes a first and a second tubular section. Thefirst section fits into the second section thereby providing fortelescopic adjustment of each of the rods and two end pieces that jointhe ends of each of the two adjustable rods together, and two endhanging apparatus having pivotably positioned therein the two endpieces. Each of the hanging apparatus is attached to the walls of theshower enclosure, and when shower curtains are attached to each of therods, an enclosed shower area is formed.

A SIXTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent No. 2013/0025044, Published on Jan. 31,2013, to Moyer teaches a door-less shower enclosure system that is awater handling system for human showering. The door-less showerenclosure system is configured in such a way as to fit into an alcove ina bathroom of approximate size as that of a bathtub, and contains anddischarges water from a shower head without the use of a physical door.The door-less shower enclosure system includes a prefabricated base witha drain, a glass partition, and a metal crossbar support. The glasspartition rests upon the base and is supported at the top by the metalcrossbar support that is mounted to the side walls of the alcove. Accessto the shower compartment is through a walk-in opening, as opposed to anoperable door.

A SEVENTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Patent No. 2013/0264240, Published on Oct. 10,2013, to Wallis teaches an enclosure including a base and a wallassembly. The wall assembly includes a first wall that is selectivelymovable from a disassembled configuration to an assembled configuration.The first wall is disconnected from the base when in the unassembledconfiguration, and is coupled to the base when in the assembledconfiguration, so that the first wall is in a substantially uprightconfiguration. Additionally, the first wall has a first substrateincluding a plurality of first substrate edges, and a plurality of firstornamental features that are individually affixed to the firstsubstrate, while the first wall is in the disassembled configuration.Further, at least one of the first ornamental features is positionedsubstantially adjacent to two of the first substrate edges, while thefirst wall is in the disassembled configuration.

It is apparent now that numerous innovations for shower enclosurerelated devices have been provided in the prior art that adequate forvarious purposes. Furthermore, even though these innovations may besuitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address,accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the presentinvention as heretofore described.
